Ever wanted to help someone with a computer issue? Or walks someone through a program on their computer that they cannot figure out? And doing this type of help support without paying or having to drive to someones house? Well I found a nice little tool called
LogMeIn Express it allows for you to share your computer screen or have someone else share their computer screen as well as allow for remotely controlling their computer. It has
End-to-end, 256-bit SSL encryption which is used by major banking institutions so it is safe to use.
Here are the highlights:
It's Simple
| • | Session code generated by the host instantly shares screen with one or many |
| • | Small download for the host; no client required for the viewer |
| • | Easy-to-use chat capabilities |
It's Secure
| • | End-to-end, 256-bit SSL encryption — the same security levels used and trusted by major banking institutions |
| • | Permission based — end user must approve remote control |
It's Free
| • | Express Beta is free for both commercial and non-commercial use |
I've used this program several times with family and friends that need computer help and it's saved me countless back and forth phone calls and emails. There is also an app for the iphone and the new iPad, it's called
Ignition and of course that one isn't free.
